Red Reishi Mushroom is one of the oldest mushrooms known to be used medicinally by humans. It is highly prized as a major tonic in Chinese herbalism known as Lingzhi.

Often referred to as “the mushroom of immortality”, it has been valued as a longevity herb in Asian cultures for well over 2,000 years. Also called “the great protector” due to its qualities as an adaptogen,

HEALTH BENEFITS OF REISHI MUSHROOM:

• HELPS INCREASE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM (Immune-boosting benefits)
• PROTECT AGAINST OXIDATIVE STRESS (Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals, cells that cause chronic inflammation. This type of inflammation leads to a wide range of diseases and health problems).
• STRONGLY SUPPORTS AND REDUCE ONE’S RISK OF CANCER (Studies show Reishi stimulates autophagy to such an extent that it can reduce cancer risk).
• HELP STIMULATE BETTER HEALTH AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL (Protect the cellular integrity, and get rid of dead and harmful cells that cause chronic inflammation).
• HELP REDUCE CHRONIC INFLAMMATION (This may include inflammatory pain issues, skin inflammation, and even allergies and asthma).
• CAN HELP WITH AGING MORE GRACEFULLY (With its antioxidant and free radical-protective abilities, can put a stop to tissue degeneration, aging, and weakness.
• MAY HELP WITH FOCUS AND MEMORY (This mushroom has very specific anti-inflammatory actions that may protect nerves and neurons from inflammation).
• CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS (with its neuroprotective abilities to boost brain function, Reishi could also help to protect the brain and nervous system).

Reishi is a miracle of nature. Nature provides an amazing diversity of health-enhancing properties that aren’t seen anywhere else out there—and all these benefits are found in just one single mushroom.

REISHI AND HIV

Reishi is one of the top medicinal plants in the Chinese herbal system.
Also, is non-toxic when used appropriately and can be taken daily on a long-term basis with few known side effects.
Interference with the effectiveness of some drugs (especially immune suppressants) is possible. It’s always a good idea to consult a qualified health physician (preferably someone with experience in complementary health care) before consuming any dietary supplement. This is not medical advice.

Active Components – Beta-glucan polysaccharides and triterpenes in the form of Ganodermic Acid. The fruiting

body (above-ground part) and mycelium (filaments connecting a group of mushrooms) are used as medicine. It’s now being shown that that mushroom spores contain up to 70 times more of these active constituents.

Increases T-Cells As Dr. Andrew Weil writes, Reishi “has been the subject of a surprising amount of scientific research in Asia and the West.” Research shows that the polysaccharide beta-d-glucan in Reishi boosts the immune system by raising the amount of immune-boosting T-cells. HIV, the virus responsible for causing AIDS, attacks the immune system, specifically targeting these T-cells, reducing the body’s ability to fight infection. By stimulating them, Reishi strenghtens the immune system’s ability to combat AIDS and other diseases.

Anti-Viral:
It’s also known for it’s anti-viral properties and studies indicate that Reishi inhibits the HIV-1 PR enzyme. Now being used in Western medicine which is starting to embrace Reishi where it’s currently being used as an immune stimulant by patients with HIV according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. WEbMD and other well-known medical websites also list Reishi as a treatment for HIV/AIDS.

An Approved Cancer Drug in Japan:
Reishi contains over 400 bioactive components and is an approved cancer drug in Japan. Interlukins, Glucans, and Canthaxanthin, they evidently recognize it’s ability to stimulate interlukins which combat tumors, as well as it’s immune enhancing properties. As indicated by a Summary of a Cochrane Review: Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) for the treatment of cancer.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5222619/

Studies also show that the “glucans” in Reishi help immune cells bind to tumor cells. Another substance in Reishi called “canthaxanthin” slows down the growth of tumors according to “The Prescription for Dietary Wellness” by Phyllis A. Balch and other experts.
Red vs Black Reishi Please note that Black Reishi is also used as a medicinal herb but is not as potent as the red variety due to it’s lower polysaccharide levels.

The “Amazing mushroom”:
Numerous medical journals published in the US National Library of Medicine have shown Reishi mushroom to be effective. Cancer Research UK (CRC), the City of Hope National Medical Center in California and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Health institutions are now pursuing researches and studies on Reishi mushrooms.

A study in Japan at the Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University indicated that “Ganodermic” compounds in Reishi were ” found to be active as anti-HIV-1 agents.”  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92757/

Another study published in the October 1998 issue of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, found that triterpene compounds, found in the reishi mushroom and it’s spores significantly inhibit anti-HIV activity.
